OK. I exaggerate a bit about SC. There will be great breaks given because it's SC and the loss is to Alabama. Still, I don't think a close game would look good on playoff resume and a loss would be deadly. Of course, I don't care so much about playoffs as long as Stanford can win the league.

A loss would not be deadly! Last year ever single team in the playoff had a loss!

Except Clemson, whose only loss came in the national title game vs. Alabama.

Right, both years 3/4 teams had a loss.
